During an interview with LBCI television he said that his bloc will request postponing the issue of lowering of the voting for a period of 6 months.
Lebanese Speaker Nabih Berri has called for a parliament session on Monday to discuss amending Article 21 of the constitution to lower the legal voting age from 21 to 18.
Zahra slams Nasrallah’s speech
Lebanese forces MP Antoine Zahra slammed Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ’s speech last Sunday in which he criticized the Christian community . Zahra said we reject all the accusations and as Dr Geagea said we don’t want Israel to have any excuses to attack Lebanon and the war and peace decisions should be exclusively made by the state.
Zahra said ever since 2000 there has been no justification for Hezbollah weapons because both Shebaa Farms and Kfarshouba hills require a documented proof from Syria that they are Lebanese territories.
Zahra added that May 7 2008 was suicidal for the logic of resistance. accusing others of allegiance to Israel and US is totally rejected because we are the Cedar Revolution and what it stood for in independence , freedom and democracy
